You just have the wrong type for the first parameter to the makeText() method. It would similarly fail if you tried passing an integer for the first parameter, or a boolean. You can see an example of using a Toast from an ItemizedOverlay in one of my book examples. I don't have these examples up on github just yet (probably this weekend), so I can't directly link to it. For now, visit: http://commonsware.com/Android/ Scroll down and click on the Source Code link opposite the table of contents. In the ZIP file, you will see Maps/NooYawk/. Look for the onTap() implementation there. Since my ItemizedOverlay is an inner class of my MapActivity, I already have access to a suitable Context to provide to makeText(). -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy Android Development Wiki: http://wiki.andmob.org -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
